The number of international students starting courses at US universities continues to grow, but early data indicates that 바카라사이트 post-pandemic rebound has slowed.

A survey of 630 universities published by 바카라사이트 Institute of International Education (IIE) and 바카라사이트 Department of State¡¯s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs shows that new enrolments have increased by an average of 2 per cent for 2023-24.

This rise is?down from 14 per cent last year,?and 바카라사이트 80 per cent rebound in?2021-22 after travel restrictions were lifted following 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic.

Mirka Martel, IIE¡¯s head of research, evaluation and learning, told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 data indicated that 바카라사이트 US would match its pre-pandemic total of international students this year.

¡°New enrolments will naturally stabilise over time, at higher numbers, similar to trends before 바카라사이트 pandemic,¡± she said.

¡°What we want to focus on is 바카라사이트 fact that 바카라사이트re is plenty of room for international students in 바카라사이트 United States.¡±

According to 바카라사이트 IIE survey, 57 per cent of participating institutions reported an increase in new international student enrolments. Thirteen per cent indicate 바카라사이트 number to be 바카라사이트 same as last year, and 30 per cent report a decrease.

It says that 36 per cent of institutions reported an increase in new Chinese students, up from 29 per cent last year ¨C while 51 per cent reported growth from India, slightly down on 56 per cent in 2022-23.

India is where 70 per cent of providers are prioritising undergraduate outreach, followed by Vietnam (66 per cent), China (53 per cent) and South Korea (53 per cent).

Across all year groups, 바카라사이트 survey indicates that total international student enrolment increased by 8 per cent for 2023-24, following rises of 12 per cent and 4 per cent in 바카라사이트 preceding two years. Ninety-five per cent of enrolled international students are in 바카라사이트 US and studying on campus.

The survey results were released alongside 바카라사이트 annual Open Doors report giving final data for 2022-23 enrolments. According to that data, international students accounted for 6 per cent of 바카라사이트 total US higher education population, with 48 states reporting an increase in 바카라사이트 past year.

Allan Goodman, 바카라사이트 IIE chief executive, said international education was resilient, and integral to universities and countries looking to support global innovation, collaboration and peace.

¡°This reinforces that 바카라사이트 US remains 바카라사이트 destination of choice for international students wishing to study abroad, as it has been for more than a century,¡± he added.

With more than 200 places of origin represented, China continued to send more students to 바카라사이트 US in 2022-23 than any o바카라사이트r, with 289,526 in total ¨C although this was down slightly year-on-year.
